Pelletstown railway station is a railway station on the Western Commuter line in the Cabra area of Dublin, Ireland, [2][3] beside the Royal Canal.[4] The station was opened on 26 September 2021[1] by Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan and Tánaiste Leo Varadkar,[5] becoming the first new station to open on the Iarnród Éireann network since Oranmore railway station opened in 2013.[4]

Planning permission was originally granted in 2014, with modified permission approved in 2018. In 2018, Iarnród Éireann stated that construction would begin in 2019,[6] but the groundbreaking did not take place until February 2020.[2][3] As of early 2020, the project was projected to cost €10-€10.5 million.[7][8]

The station is adjacent to the 8th Lock residential quarter development, owned by German investor Union Investment.[9]

The station takes its name from the townland of Pelletstown. This name traces back to the Middle Ages: Piletiston is recorded on the Close Roll of King Edward III c. 1375, the name meaning the tūn (settlement) of Ralph Pedelowe.[10][11]
